Parliament and OUT The Senator ex-
what he had ssen Of Puget
Sound and vas soFTy that owing
20 the smoky atmosphere which now
prevails. be had not beea able 10 see
more Of the soenoFy along its shores.
He considered che location Of Seattle
one Of the finest be had seen, and
thought ID vas destined 70 be 9 very
large city IN the near future. He vas
much pleased 10 observe the feeling
which pEevaded toe peopie Of the city
In favor Of friendly intercourse with
the throuQh route over the Oanaainn
/ Paciac railway. He thouQht IL would
be mere fortunate thing for Seattle II
through rail connection could Be
made with the Canadian Pacific rail-
way ct New Westminster. He vas
clad to know that there vas move
ment In the city In favor Of planting
shade and ornamental tgeea. DO had
driven through the city daring the day
In company With Mr.. Ohas. h. Kitten
ger and Ex-Governor Squire, and had
noticed the lack OF these necessary

One Of She most importan. factors
/ 10 the future Of Seattle, vas the fact
that there was q large deposit Of
spiendid coal in the immediate neigh
borhood. It vas an immenae factor In
the prosperity Of the country, and II
connection were made with the Oana-
dian Pacific Railway, Seattle and the
neigbborhood would be able 10 share
largely IN the export business 70 The
EAst. He believed that the building OF
the line TO New Westminster would be
Of mutual beneft TO both the Territory
Of Washington and The city Of Seattle
/ In particular and also 10 the Canadian
Paclio Hallway. It would take no
business from bat would rather add 20
/ the business Of Vancouver and AeU
/ Westminster. Another thing that
should be considered Ia this connection,
sas that II the line were built from
Seattle 20 New Westminster, Il would
almost compel the Sc. Peui, Mime
apolis and Manitoba road 10 make this
/ city their western terminus. They
vould ind Il much to their advantage
10 build here, rather than 10 any other
point.
TIE RED RIVER h. =. TROUBLE.
As be came through he stopped Of
/ few days in WinBipeg, and bad some
opportunities Of learning the views of
people with reference 10 the Red River
Raiiway, whieh vas nov q bone Of con-
seusion between the Dominion and
Manitoba 0oveFnments. He was IN
Winnipeg when the proceedings for an
injunclion took place, and while there
vas undoubtedly great excitement IN
that city with regard 10 the proceed
inRs, there vas no doubt Ia his own
mind, and bis impressions were gained
for the best information that could pos
sibly be obtained, that the agitation IN
favor Of the road vas almoat entirely
confined 70 the merchants OF Winnipeg.
and the political opponents Of the pres
snl government.
rHR FTsHKRT QUESTIONS.
With regard 10 the matters al present
10 dispute between the United States
and Canadian 0oveFnments, IN refer
ence 10 she fisheries, Senator Diokey re-
ferFed 70 the fact that ths Presidents Of
the United States under Advisement
vas anxious TO negotiate an equitable
treaty over the matter. The seizure OF
sealing vessels 90 the high seas 10
Behring Sea be thought utterly indefen
sihle, and the fact that the United
states Government had. before the pur.
chase Of Alaska. denied the right OF
Russia 10 control the seal fisheries there
was sufficient proof that she rights nov
claimed we're not Just. he noticed With
satisfaction that Il had been declared
that these seizures bad been made IN
der cid Instructions and that The ad-
miuistFation Ia Washington we're Of
opinion thai theFe we're at least reason

Canadian contentious. de had very

The question OF commercial aaion
vas taking up great deal OF spaee In
some Canadian papers. There we're two
elements whieh vOald interfere With e.

distinctly refused through their repre-
sentatives IN Congress 20 eatsFeatn the
